For Terra Magica’s 10th release, Volodymyr Gnatenko navigates realms of psychedelic, percussion-heavy IDM techno with Pyramid of Knowledge ''Back to Earth Remix'' – undoubtedly one of the most mind-bending, hallucinogenic tracks in the universe.

Inner Zone - Fallout EP (SL015)

A1 Folded Realm
A2 Folded Realm (Kohra Remix)
B1 Spiral Form
B2 Fallout

Inner Zone returns to space•lab with an immersive EP exploring the meeting point of deep techno and progressive minimalism, shadowy rhythms and spatial resonance.

Folded Realm opens the release with a hypnotic pulse, drawing from the darker edges of the Inner Zone sound with precision and restraint. Goa’s Kohra steps in on remix duties, transforming the original into a tunnelling techno weapon — dense, focused, and primed for the floor.

Spiral Form is a slow-burn evolution, unfolding in layers of submerged textures and flickering synth work. Closing the EP, Fallout breaks formation with a menacing, breakbeat-driven excursion through scorched sonic terrain.

https://www.theransomnote.com/music/premieres/premiere-diamond-haze-the-source-ct-kidobo-remix/

Transboundary Haze II is three heavyweight remixes of Diamond Haze tracks.

There once was a Diamond Haze quite sublime, Who danced on the Tapes Sublimating in time,
With a Source so profound, That it spun round and round,
While the CT Kidobó made a fabulous Remix divine!

“Oh, wonderful Source!” cried the Diamond Haze, “Your Remixing skills have me quite in a daze!
You sublimate tapes, Into curious shapes,
And transform all my nonsense to musical praise!”


 
They traveled to Crumbly-come-Tumble by sea, In a sieve that was leaky as leaky could be,
With a spoon for a sail, And a thimble for pail,
And a bottle of nothing to drink with their tea.

And this is the end of my nonsense today, About Diamond Haze Source in its remixing play,
With Tapes Sublimating, And CT Kidobó creating,
A rhythmical jumble in Lear’s silly way!

 

We’re premiering the CT Kidobó rework of The Source. A deep, dark bubbler… let’s go.
